Default Values

Definition

Tab page in the
variables editor that is required for variables with the processing type
Manual Entry/Default Value.

Use

You specify one or
more default values when you define a variable. These then appear in the
variables screen when you execute the query or Web application.

If the
variable is ready-for-input, you can overwrite the default value in the
variables screen and select a different value.

If the
variable is not ready-for-input, the query is filled with the default value
and you cannot change the value when you execute the query or Web application.

here.

represents a selection option, all input help functions are available for
selecting default values here. For example, you can exclude or include values
from the selection. For more information, see Input Help in

the value set created in the BEx Broadcaster as the default value. This value
set contains the required precalculated values from background reporting. For
